Definition: The data rate of a computer network connection is normally measured in units of bits per second (bps). Network equipment makers typically rate their products using related, larger units of Kbps, Mbps and Gbps.

one kilobit per second (Kbps) equals 1000 bits per second (bps). (Note: Kbps is sometimes also written as “kbps” - both carry the same meaning.)

one megabit per second (Mbps) equals 1000 Kbps or one million bps.

one gigabit per second (Gbps) equals 1000 Mbps or one million Kbps or one billion bps.
